Fortunately, despite the doubts from the fans, the players who played in this round withstood the pressure and ultimately defeated their opponents 2-0 after 90 minutes of play.
Falcao made a comeback in the league, scoring twice to help his team win a crucial match.
Of course, Mbappe, who came on as a substitute at the end of the match, was also very crucial. It was his presence that created more opportunities for Falcao.
After his start in the Champions League, Mbappe has become increasingly threatening, like a sword drawn from its sheath.
In this match, Jardim removed most of his midfielders and focused on counter-attacking, which inadvertently amplified Mbappe's role. Although he only played for 20 minutes and did not score, he was involved in almost both goals.
After successfully winning the match, Monaco returned to closed training.
Because in three days they will be playing against Borussia Dortmund at home, and this match will determine whether they can enter the Champions League semi-finals, so everyone is taking it very seriously.
Because they share a common goal, the players are very focused, and the team provides them with the most meticulous care.
With one day left before the big match, Lei Ming didn't go straight back to his dormitory after dinner as usual. Instead, he went to the training field and took a leisurely stroll, kicking a ball around.
Previously, he ostensibly went back to rest, but in reality, he was fully committed to the daily grind of competing against several of Dortmund's forwards.
The more they competed, the more he realized how terrifying Aubameyang was as a striker.
His abilities are indeed outstanding; he can dribble, beat opponents, has speed, pass the ball, and can also be used as a center forward.
No wonder the opposing team became the top scorer in the league, scoring 28 goals.
The confrontation between the two left Lei Ming feeling exhausted.
He had experienced this feeling several times before, starting with Kane, then Cavani, then Balotelli, then Aguero, and now Aubameyang.
Over time, without prior awareness, he did appear quite inexperienced in front of these people, and initially he was unable to defend against their goals at all.
Fortunately, he can learn about his opponent's data over time and through countless confrontations, thus gradually turning the tide in each battle.
While we can't guarantee 100% protection against their shots here, we can certainly manage 70%.
In order to prepare for the competition the day after tomorrow, Lei Ming had to end his special training early to recover his mental state. Otherwise, if he went on the field in a tired state, even with his precognitive abilities, he might make mistakes.
If the goalkeeper makes a mistake, it means a goal is scored, and all the previous efforts will be in vain, which he is unwilling to do.
If possible, why not strive for every victory you can achieve? Lifting the Champions League trophy is not impossible!
Lei Ming's unusual behavior attracted the attention of many people.
Mbappe walked up, kicking a soccer ball, and asked, "Reige, why are you taking a walk today? Aren't you going home to rest?"
He said he was going back to rest, but Mbappe guessed that Rego probably went back to watch adult films every time, otherwise, why would he always give the impression that he was very tired?
He said he was going to get some rest, but he ended up like this. Who would believe that?
"No, it's good to take a break. Your performance has been getting better and better lately. I heard that the rich guy next door is interested in signing you. What do you plan to do?"
With the season nearing its end, transfer activities for various teams have largely commenced. As Monaco's rising star, Mbappe has attracted considerable attention. Just a few days ago, media outlets reported that Paris Saint-Germain, a wealthy club, is preparing to invest heavily in Mbappe's transfer negotiations.
When Mbappe heard Lei Ming's question, he just smiled awkwardly: "I didn't think of that either. I want to go to Real Madrid, but my father said that it's not suitable for me right now, and that going there would only harm me. Of course, it depends on the team's opinion."
Because of their contracts, players have no right to choose their teams during the contract period; all they have to do is try their best to prove themselves.
"Hehe, your father is sober. Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Now we should focus on the path we're on. You must perform well in the game the day after tomorrow and not be foolishly controlled like you were when you faced Manchester City."
"Of course I understand. I won't make the same mistake twice."
In the afterglow of the setting sun, the two men clashed their fists together, as if they could create the most dazzling sparks.
The long, slender shadow loomed over the passing ants like a giant on a green field.
Although their collaboration lasted only half a season, they quickly developed a deep friendship and mutual respect. Mbappe will never forget that it was under his older brother's guidance that he transformed from a boy into a man, and from a shy boy into a more mature individual.
The ML duo has become a classic in the league and is loved by countless fans.
But they also understand that all good things must come to an end, and as players, they cannot choose their next destination. All they can do is cherish the present.

"Viewers, welcome to the CCTV live broadcast studio. I am your old friend Huang Xiaotian, and I am Liu Xin. It is a pleasure to meet you all here again."
"Okay, we see the players from both teams walking out of the player tunnel one by one. According to the roster, the player configuration is almost the same as in the last match, with no major changes. Tuchel is very confident and still uses the 4-2-3-1 formation. On the Monaco side, their former defensive stalwart Sidibé is suspended due to accumulating three yellow cards, and Raggi will replace him in this match."
“Jardim is also very confident. He did not change the formation and still used the same formation as in the last match, the classic 442.”
"As the match began, we saw that Monaco, playing at home, was much more active than when they last visited Westfalenstadion. They launched a brilliant counter-attack right from the start. However, the final shot was not controlled well, and Falcao's attempt to volley the ball directly went high and wide."
"Even so, it still drew cheers and applause from many fans at the stadium. It was clear that Monaco intentionally controlled the positions of the away fans in this match, squeezing their space into a very small area. According to footage taken by our staff outside the stadium, some of the Dortmund fans who had traveled a long way still stood outside the stadium singing and cheering for the team, even though they couldn't get in."
